Abstract

The impressive rise in the number of elderly persons (65 years and over) will continue in the next two to three decades. Urinary incontinence is a common problem in the elderly, adversely affecting medical, social, and "quality of life" aspects. The cost of urinary incontinence is substantial and is expected to escalate enormously (e.g., by 160% from 1980 to 2040). An aggressive approach toward the diagnosis and management of urinary incontinence can result in an impressive reduction in health care costs and improvement in the quality of life.
